Mastress Alita’s sipdown challenge – September Tea #4 -A tea with honey added
The book I’m reading kept mentioning chamomile, and once for eye health (though the book didn’t mean drinking it for eye health, but a compress or something…), and my eyes are always wrecked so I steeped this up. I don’t actually mind this one from Twinnings and I’m often craving it. So this has honey in the name of the tea for this prompt AND I actually added some of Grandma’s honey to the mug… which I never really like to do since I never actually taste honey until I get to the bottom of the mug… and that will be the dregs of the cup in the morning! On another note, the local grocery ad this week showed $7 for two boxes of 20 teabags of Twinings tea. NO WAY. I don’t like this that much.

This was a thing my mom actually used to do for me when I was a kid and my eyes hurt! Like allergies, cold, etc. Just steep up two bags of straight chamomile tea and use the teabags as compresses (making sure they’re a safe temperature). It was super soothing! I would still do it now except I stopped keeping chamomile teabags at home when I got really into tea and switched over to looseleaf.
I’ve used plain cheap black tea bags for tired eyes for years. Not sure if I’ve ever attempted chamomile, but it does sound soothing!
huh, I wonder if the teabags of chamomile on my eyes might help my chronic dry eye or allergies… I don’t think I have many teabags of chamomile around at this point anyway…
